[QUOTE="sab, post: 1645009, member: 1548"] beveridgek: I meant no personal ill-will with my reply. There's an old saying that "it's better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6," which applies in this case. Being alive after defending oneself against a grizzly that is not afraid of people and having to deal with the legal ramifications vs. being dead because the bear spray didn't work is truly a personal choice. One that's easy for me. I made my response because you stated that the OP should keep his plan to carry a gun to himself because firearms are forbidden in all national parks, when that is not the case, and there is no need to keep his plan to himself. When my wife and I visited Yellowstone a few years back, we saw several people open-carrying handguns, and no one, including park staff and rangers even looked twice at them. There is no need to keep a plan to carry guns to oneself, which is not a trivial point for the OP to understand. If I have offended you, please accept my heartfelt apologies - none was intended.
